iNaturalist projects represent a valuable resource for aggregating plant observations and engaging society: A case study of the Flora of Mongolia project

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Citizen science – collaboration between scientists and the public – has the potential to advance biodiversity monitoring. Using a case study from Mongolia, called the Flora of Mongolia project in iNaturalist, we illustrate how crowd‐sourced biodiversity data fills gaps of plant diversity in Mongolia.

Assessing current curation, identification and digitisation practices in herbaria: Results from a global survey

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The value of herbarium specimens depends largely on the accuracy and accessibility of the data captured, which is dependent on curation practices. Previous studies have shown high levels of misidentification in collections, which become more problematic with increased access.

Drone photogrammetry reveals contrasting body conditions of dugongs across the Indo‐Pacific

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The monitoring of body condition has gained traction as a way to provide early warning signals of population decline, prompting conservation actions. However, the environmental and anthropogenic drivers of body condition variations are rarely investigated.

Tourist sightings improve the precision of camera trap‐derived density estimates using spatial capture‐recapture models

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
In this study, we combine tourist‐contributed images with camera trap‐based monitoring data to estimate leopard (Panthera pardus) population densities using multi‐session spatial capture–recapture models. We show that incorporating tourist observations improves precision and yields an overall density estimate of 7.02 leopards per 100 km2, while ...

Unlocking Climate Action: A Systematic Review of Pathways to Climate‐Friendly Cities Through Behavioral Change

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining planetary borders is crucial to prevent significant Earth system shifts. Climate change, primarily driven by carbon emissions, necessitates reducing urban carbon footprints. Cities contribute significantly to emissions, and citizens play a crucial role in creating ecologically sustainable cities by changing attitudes.
